Terminal Class pass rate

[breakaway2000]

Has to be the most expensive cost of living in the NAS, or at least I cant think of what could beat it. thoughts?

I'm with you. I don't know how it's possible to live out there on a CPC salary. You can qualify for HUD housing assistance during training.

According to ATADS, they did 160K ops fiscal yr 2017... I don't know anything personally about the tower... According to FAA they're VFR tower only, not even limited radar, so I don't think they even have a dbrite... PPT shows 9 CPCs w 11 target... 3 in training, 1 inbound, 2 outbounds, w a healthy 66% success rate... Sounds like there will always be traffic! Haha best of luck... Congrats

Used to know someone that was there. From what he said think it is mostly flying schools. Tons of Skyhawks mixed in with a couple fast movers. One main taxiway abeam the main runway. Pattern work all day everyday sort of place. Short runway so multiple land and taxi back operations. Don’t quote me but think that is the gist

Yeah unless you’ve got friends or family you can stay with, that would have been at the bottom in my mind.

AG pay in the Bay area = poverty level

I hear Aspen is rough too. Have to live near a hour and a half away.

A tower class finished up PAs today. Class of 17 and it was either 8 or 9 that passed.

 

[breakaway2000]

Whoever gets PDK out of that class has to get the phone numbers of all those in the class before and personally thank them

What was their list?

Last class passed 12/17 (lost one in basics). My class starts PA’s Monday.

Well that's not good. Would be nice to get the pass rates back up to 80% or so.

 

[GTeel]

We tried, had a lot of surprises that didn't make it. Glad to be through it though!

Nerves or something else?

 

[Shikaka]

It's a mix man, the PAs are only as hard as you make it. But we all know 1 small thing can double your traffic.

Some of the class had nerves get to them.

 

[ajmezz]

I’ve never been but I feel like RNO could be a cool place starting out.
